NEW From Cook Political Report:
“In our final House ratings, we're shifting six races towards Dems and two towards Republicans. Expect anything from a GOP gain of +5 seats to a Dem gain of +10 seats (Dems need +4).“

Today, the Biden-turned-Harris campaign has more than 2.4 times the number of donors as the Trump campaign — a gap of nearly 4.3 million funders.
That gap explains in large part Harris’ massive financial advantage over Trump, which has only grown entering the fall. It also points to her strength in consolidating an energetic Democratic base." #KamalaHarris
